"The Liberal Left-wing media is screaming about Fox News being unbalanced"
The Left is screaming because Fox is telling the truth and people are listening in significant numbers. It's important enough that part of the 'Rats platform for their convention includes action against the media for 'threatening democracy' which means suppressing opposing ideology.
Actually, about a month ago, Chicago's NBC outlet (Channel 5, WMAQ) presented a 1 minute segment on the nightly news fact that most of Iraq seems to be improving greatly and that the reporting on the trouble areas is obscuring that.
If I hear one more person mock that "Mission Accomplished" banner beneath which President Bush thanked a shipload of sailors and Marines a few months back, I'm going to spit. That was a reference to the ouster of Saddam's regime, and that mission was indeed accomplished, apparently to the great chagrin of the American left.
Actually, the “Mission Accomplished” banner was a reference to the crew of the aircraft carrier. Their mission was accomplished.
That’s why they were headed home, until their next mission.
But that's ALL we hear. No wonder the country is in a mixed mood about Iraq.
There is no point from the presidents point of view in getting the counter story (aka: The Truth) out until about one month before the election.
At that point he should out out the truth AS WELL AS the hypocrisy in it's being suppressed.
Then kerry won't even break 40%.
Do it too soon and it will fade before the polls and Kerry does a little better.
Amen to that.
Much of Iraq still needs to improve to become a Third World nation.
Geraldo has been to Iraq and out to the remote sites to visit the area and the troops. I wouldn't cross the street to meet him (had the chance and didn't care to take it) but this report seems to be pretty damn Fair and Balanced.
